I'd dropped my mates a copy of my maps a while back, one evening not to long ago it was suggested that we check out 4D as the group hadn't been there. I'd been there previously myself and found it only moderately interesting. Not being one to say no to exploring though I agreed and we were on our way!
Well... It turned out to be quite the experience in the end. Two of the people that came along are, for lack of a better term, audiophiles. One is studying to become an audio engineer, while the other practices singing in his spare time.
What I had failed to give much notice to last time, was the extreme echo generated by this space. Any sounds made would echo for up-to 10 seconds!!! Incredible.
The singer of the group (lets call him J) started singing deep low notes... And wow! The echoes were intense. It sounded like church music almost!
We didn't have much time though as this was the last place we were checking out for that night and needed to get home. But we vowed we would return... With a vengeance!
Not only did we return, we brought reinforcements! We brought 'J's girlfriend, a singer as well, another audio engineer from 'A's school (lets call him 'N') and the rest of the group.
As well as that, we brought sound equipment. Speakers. Microphones. Macbooks. Torches. Cameras and candles.
This turned out to be a near-religious experience. The smell of candles in the air mingling with the dust and vibrating with the sounds of our singers... It was intense.
I'll be uploading the recordings from the night made by 'A' and 'N' (I took some through the 7D's inbuilt mic and they turned out pretty good but I'd rather share the quality stuff)
Thanks to everyone that came! We'll be doing it again sometime hopefully! If you want a larger copy of any pictures here (I've got more, just didn't upload them) let me know via usual methods!
